Mark 6:52-For they considered not the miracle of the loaves: for their heart was hardened. When people doubt, despise, deride, and disbelief, Miracles happen, and they discourage and dispute you; and when you are depressed, distraught, despondent, and dejected, cry out louder for Holy Jesus Christ's mercy and grace. Luke 18:39-42-but he (the blind man) cried so much the more, THOU SON OF DAVID, HAVE MERCY ON ME. And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he (the blind man) has come near, he (Jesus) asked him, saying, 'What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee?' And he said, 'LORD, THAT I MAY RECEIVE MY SIGHT.' And Jesus said unto him, 'RECEIVE thy sight: thy FAITH hath saved thee.' And the blind man received his eyesight.

For Scout, strike one was biting a boy who did not know how to interact with a dog. Perhaps this was strike two, as Scout had already been abandoned, a mixed breed, some Beagle, some Collie, some other intelligent dogs in his ancestry, not a pure-bred by any means. Strike three might lead to being labeled a "dangerous dog" or even "put to sleep," his demise. He needed rigorous training, fast. Riverview Animal Shelter could provide that training if it survived the schemes of a shady lawyer.Meanwhile, a vital member of the RAS was coping with a different kind of trouble, something growing in her brain. Two others connected with the RAS had serious but different medical problems. Scout's home was changed because of this. It was not the last such change for him.

Instead of watching the Chicago White Sox play in Comiskey Park as he had planned, Matthew Morrison is spending the summer of 1944 in Omaha, Texas, with his grandparents. What could be worse? Matt thinks his summer is ruined. Then he meets Joshua who has an answer for just about everything, and can ride Grandpa's mules bareback. Throw in two brothers who are looking for trouble, a visit from Texas Rangers, a tornado, and a run-in with rustlers, and Matt's summer is well on the way to being more exciting than a baseball game in the park. The cast is rounded out with two dogs, a belligerent rooster named Roscoe, a rabid fox, and a group of local boys who are looking forward to the Watermelon Festival in nearby Naples, Texas. By the end of the summer, Matt decides watching a baseball game is fine, but nothing beats roaming the northeast Texas countryside for adventure and excitement.

A Novel Based on Family LoreSet in the mid-1800s, A Gripping Tale of Desperation, Disaster, and DeterminationIt's 1844 in Swansea, a grimy industrial town in South Wales dominated by copper smelters. John Gibson, destitute and desperate, has just turned eighteen and he's drunk, at the mercy of a recruiter who signs him to a twenty-year stint in the British Army. Sober, hungover, and frightened, he runs away, across the Bristol Channel to Tiverton, in Devonshire, England, where he changes his name to Taylor and is taken on as an apprentice to become a cordwainer, a shoemaker. He falls in love with Molly Lake, his boss's comely, smart, and feisty seventeen-year-old daughter.The young couple marry and begin a family. But life is brutally harsh, and they make plans to immigrate to America. John travels ahead to find work and sends money for Molly and the children to join him. But mid-Atlantic, her ship is plagued by deadly disease and torn apart by a raging storm. A passing steamship sees the burning wreck and watches in horror as it sinks into the sea. They report all were lost.The story is based on family lore set out in a letter written by a beloved aunt forty years ago, years before the invention of the internet and genealogy search engines. What she wrote was based on what she'd heard over the years, with lots of guesses and uncertainties-as much mythology as history. But the story she told was a gripper--tracing the uncertain origins of John William Gibson Taylor and Mary Lake, their romance and marriage, the dire challenges they faced in poverty-stricken Victorian England, and their desperate and dangerous flight to America.

Many people today are lost, or becoming lost, caught up in the problems and faults that are not of your making. Choosing to ignore the fundamental gifts and the simplicity of living in a harmonious world-one that will provide for those who seek a way to comfort, and an understanding of life itself. God's gifts to mankind have been ignored far too long. He has watched as mankind reinvents itself over and over, watching quietly the destruction of man by man. He grows tired and weary of mankind's inability to bring into His Garden of Eden-this Earth-a more beneficial life for mankind and for this, His Garden. I have been given a task to try to deliver His message, and this is it.

For many years I've sought the initial "rule of law" proving One's personal and private continuous and contiguous dominion over a violently removed "jus cogens" fetal measure accounting for the internationally recognized rest, residue, and remainder of One's foundational SUPREME BEING.I found it.

The Death of the Christian Church is the revelation God revealed to me to see that I had been a big part of the Death of the Christian Church for fifty years of being a pastor of eight churches. The church that Jesus spoke to Peter about in Matthew 16:18 is not any of the churches that I have served as pastor. Deacons ran the church, never approved by Jesus or God's Word, things of beauty in the church was more important than those who needed help.¿ Big bands and huge choirs were more significant than heart felt praise songs sung by God's family. Programs and play grounds was the calling cards to build bigger and bigger congregations which meant more offerings and gifts. God's House was being turned into a place of entertainment and sermons that tickled the congregants ears. Churches served as the breeding beds for gossip, judgmentalism, cliques, social gatherings, musical presentations, rather than wholesome and spiritual praise to our Living Jesus Christ. It will take a true disciple of Christ, willing to admit the truth that will be revealed to you if you truly desire truth. Compare the house of worship that you attend to the Word of God and you too will see even though most of you will turn a deaf ear. God bless you in your search.

In 2018 I was diagnosed a type-2 Diabetic. I got out a bound notebook and began documenting my situation. My past glucose was above the glucose normal range of 74-100 mg/dL, my HbA1C 11.5%, my weight was 185 lbs. and my height 5 feet 11.5 ins. I was already using Dr Amy LEE's, probiotic BIO-X4. Dr, Lee is a Nutritionist and Weight Management Specialist. A side benefit of her program was my HbA1C dropped to as low as 3.5%. I was monitoring my finger-stick blood glucose levels preBREAKFAST, preLUNCH and preDINNER. On February 15th I started with Dr Marlene Merritt's Blood Glucose Formula (BGF) to see if this probiotic would indeed lower my circulating blood glucose. The preLUNCH and preDINNER began to separate from the preBREAKFAST (nocturnal) glucose values. This glucose change was statistically significant and the preDINNER glucose levels separated statistically faster led me to identify a nocturnal phase and a diurnal phase of Diabetes. I was able to verify and extend the finger-stick data with the LibreLink technology. Now this single Type-2 Case Study needs to be verified with ten (5 female/5 male) patients and extended to nondiabetics and severe diabetic groups for comparison, and a better understanding of Diabetes. Glucose is a universal energy molecule that can be found in every cell in the body, and maintaining its normal levels is critical to good health.

Christina Houfek's Uncovering the Strength Within is an inspired, guided journey that unpacks life's inevitable baggage in a way that makes the discomfort tolerable and happiness attainable. Houfek offers an enlightening re-interpretation of ancient yogic traditions for the western audience. Written in a conversational style that inspires trust, Houfek weaves modern science, spiritual concepts, pop culture, and humor to help the reader explore and achieve contentment in a post-pandemic world. She walks readers through understanding their true self, shares ways to embrace what is, and demonstrates how to embrace inner strength to overcome obstacles blocking the path to contentment. Her fresh model introduces the reader to back door hackers, the R.A.W. (regret, acceptance, and worry) scale, distraction mode, and our internal navigation system or G.P.S. In the first section, Me, Myself, and I, Houfek creates a framework of the self comprised of the me you see, the idea of me, and the me that is. She introduces the Architect, Critic, and Witness as critical influencers to how we see and understand who we really are. This exploration of the self helps the reader understand the ways in which they integrate life's experiences to inform their self-perception, create and adorn emotional armor, and hide from uncomfortable truths. The following section, Land Ho! Navigating Life's Uncertain Seas, walks the reader through the mental models, cognitive biases, and experiences that have great potential to influence decision making. In, When Fear is My Copilot, the reader explores the ways emotions, in particular fear, impact how they perceive the world and give away their power. The Kingdom of Make Believe, provides the reader with the tools to stay in the present moment and avoid being dragged into the tempting world of what was or what might be-where regret and worry reign supreme. Sprinkled throughout these sections are "Pause, Reflect, and Record" activities whi
